Great start of your journey, all part of making this weekend memories to last a lifetime. You should be proud of where you are now owning a Lotus Exige, you've earned it!!!

[@whannel525]

It’s been a weekend I won’t forget in a hurry that’s for sure 👌 Thank you, I appreciate that 😀

Dude that’s a GREAT effort driving all that way in the exige, I picked a Clio v6 up once from the Scottish Borders and it was a trek! Whenever I do long journeys in mine (190 exige with tubular exhaust) and especially on motorways, I have some noise cancelling EarPods. Makes the world of difference to the journey.

[@whannel525]

Thanks, Yeh I was dreading the motorway journeys for this trip but I had some noise cancelling ear pods too and they make a huge difference. How do you like the tubular exhaust? I’ve been looking into getting a louder one but not sure what to go for.

@@whannel525I really love it, it isn’t subtle though although until it comes on cam it’s totally fine. 70mpg on the motorway will get a bit tiring though so if you’re doing long journeys a lot bear that in mind. With that said as long as you have your earphones I think you’d enjoy it, suits the cars perfectly.

[@whannel525]

I think that sounds ideal. I think sports cars should sound a bit fruity. And like you say, I can use the noise cancelling buds for the motorway journeys. It’s currently between tubular and the Larini system. But swaying towards tubular now

I can understand where you're coming from because I dreamed for years of owning a Lotus. I now have a 2014 Evora S Motorsport Edition

[@whannel525]

That’s brilliant 👌 How do you like driving the Evora?

[@andrewbox8984]

Absolutely love it. I drove my friends 1986 Lotus Turbo Esprit another in the 80's and what I love about them, just like your Exige, they are REAL DRIVERS CARS!!!

[@whannel525]

A turbo Esprit is a cool car. Anytime I see one it’s always a head turner. Proper old school Lotus too 👌
